Started getting message on DCI "Buckle seatbelt", after I have it on and driving. Is there something I can do to remedy this?
thanks, and Merry Christmas, Alan

Not sure if you'd tried it already but perhaps put the seat belt on before starting the car?
Either way I don't think it should be displaying that message once the belt is on, or at least not do it continuously for more than a few seconds after the belt is buckled. Just like the 'low fuel' warning sometimes doesn't turn off until a minute or two after you put fuel in, takes some time to catch up.

And not that it matters much but most will call it the DIC.

Maybe try diconnecting the battery for a few seconds then reconnect to do a full reset?? Just have to reindex windows afterward.

Pop the seat out and make sure both connectors underneath are well seated. Unhook them and rebook them. It's only 5 nuts including the belt anchor, it's easy, and 53 lbs. I had trouble when my connector was loose, but in my case the airbag light would come on sometimes.

Actually as I think about it, you need only pop off the 4 nuts and tilt the seat forward to unhook and rebook the connectors. It's easier if you have someone willing to hold it forward...it only takes a moment once the nuts are off so you won't need help for long.
